@guavanoise returns to Control Freak for his second full length EP ‘The Dolphins are Back in Venice’ - a collection of 4 playful dancefloor bangers, precision engineered for the club.

Since his Control Freak debut with the ‘Lift’ EP in 2019, Guava has been hard at work in the studio. Following a move to Berlin (and a series of releases on the likes of Banoffee Pies and Holding Hands) he’s back on the label with a new and refined style, retaining the melodic flourishes of his earlier releases whilst turning his focus squarely towards the dancefloor - a perfect fit for our white label series.

As an accomplished session musician, Guava continues to explore the synthesis between digital and analog production and songwriting techniques, innovatively self-sampling his own guitar playing across the record to add a human touch to his airtight productions. On new 4-tracker ‘The Dolphins are Back in Venice’, which includes collaborations with rising UK artists @breakaleeds & @soundsofluxe, Guava draws influence from a broad range of dance music styles in true CF fashion - combining rising, trance-influenced melodies with the syncopated rhythms and bassweight of the UK scene.

Melbourne based artist Dashiell debuts on Felt Sense Records with five hazy cuts, including a remix from Salt Mines co-founder Rudolf C.

Dashiell is a Melbourne born and raised DJ & Producer and a member of production group Menage alongside Sam Brickel, who released a track on Kia's Animalia imprint back in June 2020. Dashiell is a devotee to glitch & minimal musical styles, which shine through in his 'Going Nowhere Fast' EP on Melbourne label Felt Sense Records. The EP features a collection of tracks recorded over several years in some of Dash's ever-evolving bootleg studio setups like laundry spaces, and leaky tin sheds. The EP opener 'Aspect' sees Dashiell invite Steeplejack artist Sam Brickell to feature. The track offers fluttering grooves, hypnotic pads and spacey, humming low frequencies before 'Going Nowhere Fast' lays down breaky rhythms, tripped-out fx and twinkling synths underneath. Up next, 'Oxy' takes things into minimal territories as the shimmering bassline fuse delicately with moody textures and dubbed-out vibrations whilst 'Scratching The Surface' features ambient atmospheres, breezy soundscapes and glistening melodies.

To finish, Berlin-based Australian producer and Co-Founder of the Salt Mines label rolls out a loopy remix of 'Going Nowhere Fast' as he blends trippy electronics and murky tonality.

Going Nowhere Fast

PREMIERE: Dashiell - Going Nowhere Fast (Rudolf C Remix)

On this occasion Soos and NetterSystem deliver us a five song EP full of mist and 90s vibes. From the beginning this work takes us back to a party set decades ago in which breakbeat, techno and the jungle converge generating a series of sensations that are extrapolated. Digital and analog elements are mixed in the same timeline that in the end they reach the same conclusion: move the body.

As the tracks progress, the haze and white noise fill the imaginary space of our mind. Elements of bands like Spiritualized and many vocal samples fill the atmosphere throughout the tracks creating a well-being and at the same time an explosion of energy that causes you to move your body.
On the other hand, it is worth noting the maturity and the way in which sounds are handled in this work. In some parts it feels like being in the lobby of a European hotel: melancholic sounds that take time to mature in a very short amount of time. It's super enriching to hear layers and layers of sound that fall perfectly into place. In some parts the same melancholy takes us back to that time when the city of Leeds and Nightmares on Wax dominated the slopes. On the other hand, Latin America feels very present in the core of this EP.
Without a doubt, a work full of surprises and sounds that are not easily found.

PREMIERE: Soos - Jock Jam [Netter System]

Floating between the little fluffy white orbs he dance atop a radiant blue backdrop which ran out of sight. He was flying – at peace with his own mind and thoughts, lost in cloud and as free as a bird.

Down below the worries of this world were far away – they could not dampen his wild spirits as he soared and drifted above oceans and great plains on a planet which seemed less and less like home with every passing moment. For he would never return – not to that place where they’d clipped his wings and stopped him from soaring like the wild and wonderful bird that he was.

Guava taps Alex Blake in for a guest feature on a track called ‘In Clouds’ from his forthcoming EP for the newly launched Tread Records. This is the first record forthcoming on the label and it send a nod to bass music heritage and UK dance music culture which has come before it.

Following a debut EP release on Brazilian record label Yellow Island Records and a hypno-house debut album on colourful L.A imprint 100% Silk, California producer Etari readies four air-fresh cuts of club melodia designed for those deep moments in the dance on Running Out Of Steam.

Aesthetics of both artist and label are a heaven-made match; favouring melodic grooves and broken-beats that trigger blissed-out experiences both spiritual and physical. ‘Chemistry’ makes use of broken Baltimore rhythms and blends them with warped, supernatural vocals, feeding into both worlds of melancholy and paradise. 

‘Cinnamon Spice’ maintains the tempo with a fairy-light cut of footwork-electro – a sequence that begs to be lost in, angelic strobes of light beaming onto a looping trip cinematic sound – before the lo-fi house rhythms of ‘Lavender Luv’ cast our minds back to a simpler time when the sun was setting and the sand was still warm between our toes. 

‘Sweet Pea’ completes the release with a wubby piece of blissful Balearic; no sudden movements, swaying in the turquoise vibe as teardrops roll into the ocean.

ROOS016 // Etari - Lavender Luv

Howdy folks!

It’s been a real long while since I released my last EP on Holding Hands and I am very happy to be back on home turf.

The EP has some electro flavours from me on the first two tracks and then a heavy 2- step number for the third. The fourth track is a remix from Sid Angel (@joey-crouch)and it came about from a remix competition that I ran last year. There was a ton of entries but I loved this one the most as it took things in a totally different direction. This will be Sid Angel’s first release and it’s got a super nice feel to it. Big things coming in the future from him.

I loved so many of the remix entries that I have decided to release a selection of them digitally following the vinyl release as well.
Stay tuned...

The record is out on November 4th and you can preorder it now via the label Bandcamp.

Skins continues forging his own path with a new label celebrating the uplifting and futuristic sounds of jungle, with a four-tracker featuring tracks with early support from Katiusha, Tañ and Frazer Ray.

Whilst some will know Skins from his days DJing regularly around Oxford, his run of self-released white label techno EPs or 2021’s underground hit 24 Hour Dub, more recently he has turned his attention back to the music which made him fall in love with it all in the first place:

“I vividly remember the effect that the futuristic sounds of 90s jungle and drum ‘n’ bass had on me as a kid, hearing snippets of tracks in video games and later stumbling across artists like Alaska, Future Engineers, Seba, Peshay and LTJ Bukem. After years engrossing myself in the cavernous spaces of dub techno, this record feels like a return to my roots, bringing my style into a new arena which still feels like home. The label will serve as an outlet for this and future collaborations with like-minded producers.” - Skins

PREMIERE: Skins - Split [Sauce Direct]

I first came across Hunter as a member of my production tutorial website a couple of years back. He sent me across these demos and I was totally blown away with them. I loved the feel, the vibe and the weight across all five.

They vary in many ways and traverse the spectrum of underground club music but they all hit hard and are underpinned with some serious bass weight.

Expect to get down hard and jump up high. It’s a rollercoaster for sure.

Hyp 120: Goon Club Allstars

O Mais Baixo é um colectivo dedicado à divulgação da cultura soundsystem e de todo o movimento BASS, desde o clássico dub dos anos 70 à música eletrónica mais futurista.

Criado em 2011, inicialmente marcou a sua posição em território nacional através de um portal digital que permitia a DJs e produtores portugueses partilhar e promover o seu trabalho, tornando-se rapidamente num ponto de referência para os ouvintes de Bass Music em Portugal.
Nos anos seguintes o Mais Baixo expandiu-se para uma plataforma com múltiplas valências: produção de eventos, netlabel, host de programas de rádio, redação de artigos para revista, promoção de DJs, desenvolvimento web/apps e até construção de soundsystem.

No currículo conta já com mais de 25 festas, convidando artistas portugueses e internacionais a tocar em locais como o LX Faktory, Clube Ferroviário, EKA, Festival Free Flow ou ZERO. Também durante 3 anos manteve uma residência mensal no Groove Bar (Bairro Alto) e em 2013 tornou-se parceiro oficial do Outlook Festival, o maior festival de Bass Music da Europa.

Não estando ligado a um estilo musical em exclusivo, o Mais Baixo foi responsável pela edição de 2 compilações que abrangem diversos gêneros como o Drum'n'Bass, UK Garage, Dubstep ou Grime. Portuguese Deep Frequencies Vol. 1 e Vol. 2 contam com a participação de 30 produtores portugueses e tiveram o apoio de vários meios de comunicação, incluindo a Rádio Oxigénio ou o programa Ginga Beat da Antena3.

Após a experiência de vários anos a projetar internacionalmente o trabalho de DJs portugueses em duas das rádios online londrinas com mais atividade no meio, em 2018 o foco do colectivo virou-se para o público nacional com a criação do “Pressão Sonora” - programa com transmissão semanal na Rádio Oxigénio (102.6 FM).

A paixão do colectivo pela música "física" tornou-se também na força motivadora para a construção de um soundsystem artesanal, todo idealizado na mensagem a ser transmitida: BASS MUSIC. Os dois últimos anos foram dedicados à sua construção e afinação para que seja possível apresentar uma sonoridade diferente e experiência única ao público.
